My Favorite Foods

My favorite restaurants in Beijing are Quan Ju De, Da Dong, Fat Burger, Bellagio, and Hi Di Lau. Quan Ju De (全聚德）and Da Dong （大董）both serve the same food: Beijing duck. The duck is roasted and a chef comes out from the kitchen with the duck in a cart, and you get to watch the chef cut it up. The duck is good because it's crunchy, juicy, and I like the sauce. I think both restaurants are as good, but Da Dong always has a huge line if you don't make a reservation.

Fat Burger serves burgers and it's so good! It's good because of their skinny fries. We just went there for Curtis' birthday.

Bellagio (鹿港小镇）is a restaurant that serves Cantonese and Taiwanese food, and its so good too! I especially like their roast pork （叉烧）. After we finish eating, we always stop by Honey Moon Dessert （满记）, and I always get my durian pancake or some mango juice thing （杨枝干露）.

Hai Di Lau （海地捞）is a hot pot restaurant. At night you probably would have to wait like one hour, but while you are waiting, you can get your shoes shined, nails painted, eat free food and drink juice, play games, etc. When you eat they give you an apron. You can also make your own sauce for your food, and the food is delicious.
